Report: Grizzlies want Andre Iguodala to report to training camp

The Memphis Grizzlies want former Golden State Warrior Andre Iguodala to report to training camp and reportedly will not engage in a buyout, according to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania.

Sources: Memphis wants three-time champion Andre Iguodala to report to training camp and is refusing right now to engage in buyout, which would prevent Iguodala from finishing a Hall of Fame career on his terms because this may be his final NBA season.

Iguodala was acquired by the Grizzlies — along with a protected 2024 first-round pick — on June 30 from the Warriors in exchange for Julian Washburn, as the latter club was forced to unload salary to make room for star acquisition D’Angelo Russell. The expectation was that Iguodala would receive a buyout so the three-time champion could play for a contender in what is expected to be his final season.

Iguodala is VP of NBPA, one of league’s most respected and desires a contender at this stage. Young, rebuilding Grizzlies received a valuable 2024 1st from Golden State in Iguodala trade, and after Dwight Howard buyout, were expected to eventually have same talks with Iguodala. https://t.co/feAQl4Jbv0
